  Skywave Solar helped us with squirrels nesting under our solar array. They discovered the previous company skipped installing critter guard in a difficult to reach area, which provided the squirrels a front door. Due to the extensive wire damage, they needed to send a large crew to pull all the panels, inspect, repair, and then properly install critter guard. We received lots of photos of the damage, the repairs, and the critter guard. I was kept informed throughout the process and I believe they properly addressed the issues in a very timely fashion.

  We had a great experience with Richard, Rob, and Skywave Solar. Communication was great from the start and throughout the entire permitting and installation process. The work was completed on time and we were pleased with it. Everything was done in a neat fashion including the electrical work. Richard and his team were wonderful and we would strongly recommend them to anyone considering solar.

  Responsive, helpful, friendly, good work.

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

• It is also reviewed on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
• It posts on Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

• —The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
• —Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Mechanicsville is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
• —We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
• —We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
